Both teams have been tested this season by some of the best in the South Jersey Top 15, which should have both teams ready for the playoffs.

The Pioneers took a pair of games from Kingsway to win the Tri-County Diamond Division. The Dragons have been in the Top 15 all year and are currently the two-seed in Group III. They also had a tough 1-0 loss to St. Joe’s. The Wildcats only loss of the season so far came to Collingswood.

The Bolts finished 11-4-1, but two of their losses came to Ocean City and St. Joe’s. They also had wins against teams that made appearances in the Top 15, including Egg Harbor and Glassboro.

The tough tests each team have faced will come in handy for whoever advances to the semifinals, because sitting there waiting for them will be No. 1 Eastern.

• SALEM SHOWDOWN:Schalick will get a chance to get some revenge against in-county rival Salem when the fourth-seeded Cougars host No. 5 Salem in a South Group I quarterfinal Wednesday.

The Rams got the best of the Cougars earlier this month, winning 1-0 behind a goal from Kayla Chapman.

The winner of this game will advance to the semis to play the winner of No. 1 St. Joe’s and eighth-seeded Pitman.

• CENTRAL THINKING:Gloucester earned the No. 1 seed in the Central Jersey Group I playoffs. They will take on No. 8 Holy Cross in the quarterfinals.

The Lions (17-1-1) have dominated the competition in South Jersey during the regular season, now they hope to have some of that same success as their opponents come from slightly higher North.

Luckily for the Lions, they want have to do any of the traveling.

• POWER GROUP: South Group II has some heavy hitters, as the top three seeds in order are Collingswood, West Deptford and Camden Catholic.

If the Eagles can defeat No. 7 Middle Township and the Irish can beat No. 6 Haddonfield on Thursday, the two powerhouses will meet in the semifinals next Saturday.

On the other side of the bracket, if Collingswood can make it through to the final, it should have the advantage. The Panthers will not have as tough a road to get the final and should be able to take advantage of the fact that the Irish and Eagles will have to go through each other first.
